Gilles reopened MATH-195:
-------------------------
Assignee: Gilles (was: Brent Worden)
Focusing on the "Error handling" part of issue
[MATH-361|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-361], I propose to take
the summary of viewpoints (on the usage of checked vs unchecked exceptions)
provided in this
[article|http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jtp05254.html], as a
starting point for the discussion.
> Inconsistencies in the Exception hierarchy
> ------------------------------------------
>
> Key: MATH-195
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-195
> Project: Commons Math
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 1.1, 1.2, 2.0, Nightly Builds
> Reporter: Thomas Chust
> Assignee: Gilles
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.1
>
> Original Estimate: 0.17h
> Remaining Estimate: 0.17h
>
> I think there are some inconsistencies in the hierarchy of exceptions used by
> the Commons Math library which could easily be fixed:
> - org.apache.commons.math.linear.MatrixIndexException should really be a
> subclass of
> java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException.
> - Either org.apache.commons.math.linear.InvalidMatrixException should be
> checked or
> org.apache.commons.math.random.NotPositiveDefiniteMatrixException and
> org.apache.commons.math.geometry.NotARotationMatrixException should be
> unchecked, but in any case the latter two
> should be subclasses of the former. An unchecked InvalidMatrixException
> should probably be a subclass of
> java.lang.ArithmeticException while a checked InvalidMatrixException
> should be a subclass of
> org.apache.commons.math.MathException.
